UPDATED Masterpost of Obscure Lord of the Rings Adaptations

Edit: added a couple more super-obscure ones people told me about, AND a link to the soundtrack of the old Finnish musical adaptation

Note: this is just a masterpost of *Lord of the Rings* adaptations-- versions of the story about Frodo and the Fellowship going off to defeat Sauron.

This list will not include obscure Hobbit adaptations, or obscure Slmarillion-inspired stuff, or adaptations that don’t follow either story (ex. video games like Shadow of Mordor.)

Animated Adaptations:

Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings (the first true film adaptation of Lord of the Rings! was Peter Jackson’s first intro to the story and inspired a lot of his version. This movie was actually a financial success when it came out, even though reviews were Mixed, and were definitely Mixed for a reason)

Rankin-bass’s Return of the King (made-for-tv movie that is both a sequel to Rankin-bass’s Hobbit, but also a spiritual sequel to Ralph Bakshi’s LOTR)

Live action adaptations:

Hobitit-- a Finnish Miniseries based on a successful stage adaptation that had been produced years earlier! It had a shoestring budget, and is an amazing disaster.

Stage Adaptations:

The Lord of the Rings Musical (official soundtrack, YouTube playlist)

The Lord of the Rings Musical (audio-only full recording)

The OTHER even more obscure English Lord of the Rings musical, the Cincinnati LOTR musical. (This apparently existed, but I have trouble finding any information about it online. It might be Lost to Time.)

The popular 1980 Finnish Stage Adaptation, the Ryhmatteatteri adaptation that Hobitit was based on. Here’s a playlist of songs from it-- they’re all based on poems from the book, so if you don’t speak Finnish you can google-translate the titles/lyrics to figure out which is which. One of my favorite songs, the duet of the ent and ent-wife, isn’t included on the playlist for some reaoson-- but here it is!:

youtube

A 2018 Finnish Stage Adaptation, the Turun Kaupunginteatteri adaptation (@erdariel made me aware of this! Here’s a link they sent to a behind-the-scenes video, tho I’m not sure if this is for the modern one or for the old one I just mentioned in the previous bulletpoint. there haS to be a recording of this online somewhere bc it’s so recent, but I can’t find it.)

Radio Dramas

Important: Radio Dramas are not audiobooks, they actually are adaptations, like plays! I am slow on the uptake so I didn’t know that until a year ago

The 1980 BBC Radio Drama: (I love it and it stars Ian Holm AKA Peter Jackson Bilbo as Frodo!)

The 1979 American radio adaptation (I haven’t listened to this yet! I don’t know much about it, just that it’s apparently not as good as the BBC one. Also let me know if you can find a better link!)

The Slovakian Radio Drama (@flutelorelai made me aware of this! Has jamming tunes, and is apparently really good aND very close to the book. However idk if there are any versions with English subtitles)

The 1950 Radio Drama (the only adaptation Tolkien lived to witness and utterly hate-- has been lost to time)

A wild-sounding Russian radio drama @venwe told me about:

Video Game Adaptations:

LOTR Online-- a free-to-play open-world online game that takes place during the events of LOTR, where your OC occasionally gets to interact with the main characters/storyline.

LEGO Lord of the Rings

The film-tie in games that are not as good as LEGO Lord of the Rings

Ok but actually, this is my blind spot. If anyone knows any obscure video game adaptations of Lord of the Rings-- not things like Shadow of Mordor that have their own story, but video games that specifically adapt the story of Frodo taking the Ring to Mordor-- feel free to add on!!

Parodies:

Fellowship! The Musical soundtrack playlist (parody musical based on Peter Jackson’s fellowship of the Ring-- I haven’t listened to it yet, so I have no idea what it’s like. Also if anyone knows where to find a full recording/bootleg of it., feel free to add that!!!)

Bored of the Rings: a parody book by the Harvard Lamppon

LORD OF THE BEANS (Veggietales Lord of the Rings-- I’ve never seen it but I feel like people would kill me if I didn’t put this on here. Thanks to @coolnerdynursingstudent for the link.)

An Australian musical parody @recidivist-reader told me about:

A Russian fanmade parody of the PJ movies an anon told me about (I still haven’t seen it):

Misc

Johan de Meiji’s Lord of the Rings symphony (symphony inspired by Lord of the Rings)

#lotr #overthinkinglotr #bakshi film #hobitit #rankin-bass rotk #lotr musical #WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE #feel free to add more obscure adaptations!#or more info about the adaptations I didn't know where to find!

masterlist (in bio, sis)

tell me what you're crying for i'll wipe your tears, oh love

you should’ve listened to your best friend, hwang hyunjin, when you first met your ex. you really should have. but the thing was, he was nice, and polite at first. you truly thought he was sweet.

- flashback -

you gently gnawed on your bottom lip as you practically raced to your locker. about a week ago, you had started finding little notes in your locker. you anticipated today’s note. you arrived at your locker with a shy grin. you quickly opened your locker and there, a pink piece of paper folded in half. you reached inside and grabbed the paper. it read, ‘your eyes were sparkling like stars today.’ someone would probably find notes like these weird, but for you, it felt like the start of something new. someone was finally interested in you. this was your chance to finally get a boyfriend.

you jumped at the sound of hyunjin’s voice, who had casually appeared out of nowhere. “what’s that?” he asked.

you squealed and held the note close to your chest, heart pumping wildly from the scare. you glared at your best friend, who grinned proudly, his arms crossed over his chest as he leaned against the locker next to yours. “it’s-it’s nothing.”

“is little y/n getting love notes?” he teased.

your cheeks reddened and you glared at hyunjin. “shut up!”

hyunjin leaned closer to your face. “what did it say?” he asked.

you hesitated before a wide grin came across your lips. you pulled your best friend closer for more privacy. then, you opened the note and showed it to him. hyunjin read it before looking deep into your eyes. “hmm, i don’t see any stars in your eyes.”

your smile dropped instantly. you glared, once again, at hyunjin before smacking his arm. “why can’t you be a normal, supportive friend?” you exclaimed. “this is my first chance at a boyfriend.”

“ah, i’m sorry.”

you huffed. “no, you’re not. you’re laughing.”

“okay, okay.” hyunjin forced himself to stop, and you could see how hard he was trying to stop from smiling. “do you have an idea of who it is?”

you looked at the note, giving a thought as to whom it could possibly be. “you know, i actually never thought about it.”

hyunjin looked around the hallway, before grabbing your locker door. “well, let’s get out of here. fried chicken is cheaper on fridays.”

you rolled your eyes. “fine, but you’re paying.”

- a week later -

if your soul is aching love i'll comfort you for sure

you were walking to your class alone, as hyunjin was sick. poor boy. while you were walking, a hand grabbed your arm. “y/n.” a voice said.

surprised, your eyes widened and you turned around. you met the soft eyes of one of the most popular guys in high school. it was safe to say, you were bewildered. “y-yes?” you replied.

he smiled, and you felt your heart skip a beat. he was adorable. “i’m song junho.”

you blushed a bit as he introduced himself. “i’m y/n.”

he chuckled. “i don’t mean to sound like a creeper or anything, but i know.”

you felt your cheeks heat up even more than before. “what do you mean?”

“um, how do i say this? i’m the one that’s been leaving little notes in your locker.” he explained, his hand scratching the back of his head.

your mouth formed an ‘o’ shape. you stared at him for a second. “o-oh.”

“i felt that, maybe, you would like to know who i am now.”

you smiled. “it’s nice to meet you.” junho smiled happily. “do you want to go somewhere after school? i know of a great ramen shop near the school.”

you were about to think about his offer, but it seemed like your mouth ran faster than your brain. “yes, i would love too.”

junho grinned. “great. i’ll see you at school.”

you went on that date with junho. he made you laugh constantly, until your stomach couldn’t take it anymore. he complimented you when you admitted an insecurity to him. he truly made you smile, and you could feel yourself falling for him. you were skeptical the moment he told you his name, given that you had seen him with the group of boys that make girls swoon. you didn’t know his name, but you’ve seen him. and you assumed he was like the others, like a fuckboy. but you were wrong.

if we're caught in a wave i will carry you over

that night, directly after the date, you hurried to hyunjin’s house. his mom let you in, asking you if you could bring him some soup. although you were in a hurry to tell hyunjin everything, you grabbed the bowl of soup and carefully climbed the stairs to his room.

entering the room, you noticed the mess hyunjin had made since being sick. tissues scattered the floor and his desk, some of his bed sheets were tossed around and bundled up, probably because he gets either cold or hot. he was playing a game on his tv when you walked in. “y/n!” he grinned.

you quickly placed his bowl of soup down on his desk next to him. you sat down. “boy, do i have something for you.” you began.

hyunjin eyed you suspiciously, his eyes narrowing. “is it homework?”

you shook your head. “it’s something way better.” you leaned closer to him, despite him being sick. “i found out who’s been leaving me notes.”

hyunjin’s eyes widened. “what?”

“i know.” you took a deep breath to calm yourself down. you were so excited about everything, it was hard to contain it all. “it’s song junho.”

hyunjin’s smile immediately fell. “song junho?” he repeated.

you nodded happily.

hyunjin began to shake his head. “that’s not good. nope.”

“what do you mean?” you asked.

“do you not know who he is?”

you eyed him. “trust me. i was skeptical at first. i knew who he was. but then he took me out on a date-”

“he what?” hyunjin exclaimed, his voice raspy.

you glared at him, “i don’t see what the big deal is.”

hyunjin looked at you. “he’s only the biggest fuckboy in all eternity!”

you rolled your eyes and stood up from his bed. “hyunjin, i’ve talked to him. you have it all wrong.” hyunjin shook his head in response. you sighed and sat down in your spot on his bed. “listen to me. he’s really nice, and kind, and he makes me laugh. i know you’re worried about that.”

you looked at hyunjin, who was now staring at his tv. you could see his jaw clenching. he was annoyed or angry. “just, please be open minded. he might be my very first boyfriend.” you admitted with a sad, hopeful tone.

hyunjin finally looked at you. he knew how sensitive you were about your love life. you haven’t had a boyfriend yet, and you were growing desperate throughout the years. after all, it’s your senior year. he sighed, “fine.”

you met his eyes, a wide smile growing on your face. “ah! i want to hug you.”

“no, don’t do that. you’re already exposed to my cold just by being in here.” hyunjin laughed, lightening the atmosphere.

you grinned before noticing the steamy bowl. “oh yeah, your mom wanted you to eat some soup.”

- end flashback; a month later -

it don't matter where you are i'll run to your front door

you sighed as you looked at your boyfriend, who sat across from you at the table. he wanted to take you out to lunch, seeing as everyone was finally on a short break from school. how to explain this particular date…

you and junho had been dating for six months. the school was talking about it because he was one of the most popular guys in school. and the girls were jealous. but you felt happy, so you ignored them.

and you thought things were going great. until this very date. you had arrived at the restaurant at the time that you and junho agreed on. he was late by fifteen minutes. you wavered any negative thoughts, as your mind immediately jumped to conclusions as each minute passed. when your boyfriend arrived, his hair was slightly disheveled, and his clothes were wrinkled. you asked him about it, and his response was that he had just got out of a shower. you believed him.

but now, a few minutes after he arrived, late, there he sat in his spot, on his phone. you were growing angry and impatient, not to mention that you were hungry. you were beginning to grow moody. “hey, what do you want?” you asked, gesturing to the menu.

he shrugged. “whatever.”

you rolled your eyes. “what are you doing on your phone that’s much more important than your own girlfriend?”

he finally looked at you, but his face didn’t show any guilt or stress. he looked annoyed, which only added to your own feelings. “none of your business.”

you clenched your jaw, before reaching into your purse to grab your phone. right in front of your boyfriend, you dialed hyunjin’s number. “hello.”

“hey, hyunjin.” you said loudly, staring straight at your boyfriend.

perhaps you were being petty, but you didn’t care. your boyfriend watched you with cold, angry eyes as you called hyunjin. “what’s up?” he asked on the other side.

“do you want to meet me somewhere? i’m hungry.”

“sure! the ramen shop?”

“sounds perfect.”

“alright, i’ll see you in ten minutes.” he said.

“alright, bye!” you hung up and began to gather your things.

your boyfriend looked betrayed. “where the hell do you think you’re going?”

hearing his voice, you glared at him. you paused before saying, “none of your business.”

he scoffed, just as you grabbed your purse and left the restaurant, feeling pretty good. you arrived at the ramen shop after hyunjin did. he had already ordered. you sat down on the barstool next to him, placing your things on the chair next to you. he sipped on his boba tea, while handing you your own boba tea, eyeing you carefully. “why are you dressed up?”

you groaned and covered your face with your hands. “i was supposed to be on a date with junho.”

hyunjin turned his body to you, “spill the tea.”

you laughed and removed your hands. you didn’t feel that bad abandoning your boyfriend like that. “it’s not very strong tea. basically, he asked me on a date. okay, let me reiterate that he was the one that called me and asked if i wanted to eat somewhere.” you met hyunjin’s eyes, and he nodded along. you continued, “so i get there at 11:00, we both agreed to meet at that time. but this boy, my boyfriend, arrives fifteen minutes late, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were a mess. i was suspicious, but turned out he had taken a shower. so i let it go. but then, the entire time he was on his phone, doing who knows what. i was angry, and annoyed, and on top of it starving. so i decided to just, let it go and go eat with you.” you explained.

hyunjin stared at you. you could practically see the gears turning in his head. he cleared his throat before speaking. “so, did you guys break up?”

before you could answer, you faced the window and sipped your boba tea. you sighed, “no.” you fidgeted with your hands. “i think i’m just going to go to his place later and apologize.”

hyunjin looked away, turning in his seat. he became abnormally quiet. “hyunjin, are you okay?”

he nodded. “yeah, of course. just, hungry.”

you smiled. “me too.”

- a few hours later -

when my head goes in different directions you know my heart's never on the move

after you and hyunjin ate at the ramen shop, you and him walked around the city for a bit. he felt bad, and a little mad, about the way your boyfriend was treating you. so he thought that he could get your mind off of things for a while.

it was growing dark when you and him began to walk back to the neighborhood where you and him lived. “well,” you said, “i’m going to junho’s house. i feel bad for what i did.”

hyunjin nodded. “do you want me to come with you?”

you shook your head, looking down at your shoes as you kicked a small rock around. “no, it’s okay. everything will be fine.”

hyunjin sighed. “i don’t want you walking alone in the dark.”

you looked at him and smiled, “his house isn’t far from here.”

you were persistent, there was no changing your mind. hyunjin pulled you into a tight hug. “text me when you get home. and let me know how everything goes, okay?”

you pulled away and smiled at hyunjin, “okay.”

he then sent you off. he waved as you walked away, before heading in the opposite direction.

you felt anxious; nervous as you made your way to your boyfriend’s house. the entire five minute walk, you were finding ways to apologize, or rather asking him as to why he was not talking to you. this was going to be a more formal talk, probably resulting in your first argument with him. you were going to avoid that, though. you didn’t want that.

you arrived at junho’s house. the lights were on inside. taking a deep breath, you approached the door and rung the doorbell. there was no answer. you peeking into the window after a few minutes, finding no one inside. you didn’t want to intrude, but you felt yourself reaching for the doorknob and turning it. it was unlocked.

and in the dark times you don't have to question if i'm 100 with you

you opened the door, looking around. “mrs. song? mr. song?” you called. “guess they’re not home.”

you looked around before turning towards the stairs. your heart stopped when you saw a shirt on the ground, particularly, a crop top. you knew for a fact mrs. song doesn’t wear those. you could feel your heart ache, and your stomach twist. your mind was racing. as if the crop top wasn’t enough evidence, you felt yourself ascending up the stairs. on the fifth step, you found the exact shirt junho was wearing during your “date”. you gulped hard. you wanted to turn around and leave, already drawing conclusions. you knew the signs, you could see the clothes strewn on the floor. but you kept going.

you found a pair of booty shorts near junho’s door, and when you looked up from the floor, you saw that his door was cracked. that’s when you began to hear the sounds. you could hear the smacks emitting from their lips as they made out. you crept closer, cautiously. praying that you wouldn’t step on a creaky floorboard. you reached his door and peeked through the crack. they were almost naked. the girl - you didn’t recognize - began to moan as junho went for her neck.

you felt your heart crack, just as junho turned enough to see his face.

tears sprung in your eyes. you brought a hand up to your mouth so that you couldn’t make a sound. finally, after seeing plenty, you forced yourself to turn around. you hurried down the stairs, almost tripping on his shirt on the way, and escaped from the house. you slammed the door closed behind you. you didn’t care if they heard.

you could put an ocean between our love, love, love it won't keep us apart

you sprinted away from the house, turning on the hyunjin’s street. you hurried towards his house and knocked on the door. you felt restless and heartbroken. you felt like you could sprint for miles, all while feeling heavy and lifeless.

you tried to take deep breaths to calm yourself down. you didn’t want to look like a complete wreck. finally, the door opened, revealing mrs. hwang. she looked at your state, and immediately felt sad. she looked at you with worry in her eyes. “y/n?” she reached out and grabbed your shoulders, leading you into the house. “what’s wrong?”

you sighed. “i’m sorry to intrude, mrs. hwang.”

she frantically shook her head. “no, no, it’s okay.”

you hiccuped as more tears fell down your cheeks. every time you closed your eyes, you could picture your boyfriend all over that girl. you couldn’t stop thinking about it.

“do you want anything? do you want me to call your mom?” she asked, rubbing your shoulders reassuringly.

you shook your head. “no thanks.”

she looked at you before yelling, “hyunjin!”

perhaps he was the one that you came for. he was your best friend, he was more than that probably. “what?” he yelled back. you could hear the annoyed tone in his voice.

you heard his come down the stairs. you looked at him just as he rounded the corner into the living room. his annoyed expression quickly dropped. he hurried to you, looking between you and his mom, to you again. your mom stepped away so that hyunjin could stand in front of you. “y/n, what’s happened?”

you shook your head, trying hard to stop the tears from falling anymore. they had slowed down now, but they wouldn’t stop. “come on.” he said and grabbed your hand.

you followed him up the stairs and into his bedroom. he led you inside before closing the door behind him for more privacy. then he walked to you and pulled you into a tight hug, rocking your back and forth. he gently stroked your hair as you began to cry into his chest. “it was junho, wasn't it?” he asked.

you could build a wall, I would run it up, up, up just to get to your heart

you nodded, pulling away from him.

hyunjin gently dabbed tears off your cheeks with the sleeve of his long sleeve shirt. you looked up at him, “you were right. i should’ve listened to you.”

hyunjin pulled you over to his bed. you climbed onto it and sat down, crossing your legs underneath you. you grabbed one of hyunjin’s pillows and hugged it, resting your head on his. hyunjin sighed before placing a hand on your leg. “what happened?”

“well, i went to his house, but i thought no one was home. his parents weren’t. and, i found that the door was unlocked so i went inside, and i found pieces of clothing throughout his house.” you could feel yourself on the verge of a breakdown as you relived your experience. “i walked upstairs to his bedroom, and he was ch-cheating on m-m-me.” you finally got out.

hyunjin felt angry. he forced himself to remain calm for you, but all he could think about was plummeting the guy. he knew who he was. he knew that he wasn’t good for you, that you were way out of his league. but you felt like he truly loved you. he trusted you, and now your heart was broken. and he felt completely helpless.

hyunjin looked at you, “do you want to stay the night?”

you looked at him, nodding your head. hyunjin smiled before standing up, “let me tell my mom then. in the meantime, you can change into anything you want. i’ll be right back” hyunjin smiled at you.

if we're caught in a wave baby, we'll make a way

you blushed slightly, remembering all the times you’ve tried to steal from hyunjin’s wardrobe. you’ve warn his clothes before, seeing as you and him were best friends who shared almost everything. but something about now was different. after hyunjin closed the door behind him, you got up and opened his closet. you picked out a tshirt and found a pair of sweats in one of his drawers. you changed into them, feeling slightly better. hyunjin came back minutes later, holding a few snacks and drinks in his hands. “so, your mom said you can stay. she was ready storm over here when my mom told her that you had came here crying.” you smiled slightly.

you were feeling slightly better. hyunjin looked at you and smiled. “i knew you were going to go for my sweatpants.”

you looked down at them. “they’re comfy.

hyunjin smiled before turning on his tv and shutting off the lights. “what are you doing?” you asked him quietly.

hyunjin moved towards his bed and unmade it, throwing the covers way from him. “we’re going to binge watch a drama.”

you looked at him as he prepared his bed for two people. you felt your heart lighten as you watched your best friend. you felt much more loved with him than you ever did with junho. of course, you and hyunjin loved each other. but something was different.

you could put an ocean between our love, love, love it won't keep us apart

finally, he stood up. “ta-da!” he said.

you laughed lightly, standing next to hyunjin. you got into the bed first, hyunjin sliding in next to you. “so i brought, popcorn, chocolate, chips, and soda. which do you want first?”

you eyed the food. “chocolate.”

hyunjin handed you some chocolate before picking a drama and playing the first episode. you ate the chocolate and watched the drama, but halfway through the episode, you found yourself stealing glances with hyunjin. he seemed intrigued with the show, but you were more fascinated by him. perhaps you were just overwhelmed with emotions at the moment, and perhaps you weren’t thinking clearly, but you felt yourself drawn to hyunjin. “thank you, hyunjin.” you said suddenly.

hyunjin turned to look at you. he couldn’t meet you eyes. “of course.” he replied cheekily.

you smiled before leaning into him. hyunjin blushed slightly and hesitantly wrapped his arm around your shoulder. he was in love with you, he knew that now. but he didn’t want to push things, not after what you had just experienced. he knew you weren’t ready for another relationship, not yet. but hyunjin was willing to wait for you. he knew there was something more between you and him.

loves, between our love
